Michelle Danner spoke with michelemeek about the inspiration for her film MIRANDA'S VICTIM, its depiction of violence against women, and her views on being a woman in the film industry.
tells the story of Patricia Weir who, against the odds, brought Ernesto Miranda, her abductor and rapist, to trial. But after his conviction in 1963, Miranda’s lawyer sought to overturn his case, stating that the evidence against him had been obtained under duress—and Miranda was uninformed about his right to remain silent. Ultimately, this case led to the “Miranda’s warning”—the legal requirement for the police to read someone their rights upon arrest.
And it inspires people to have their voices heard, especially women. What did it cost, you know, this wonderful, courageous lady, Patricia Weir in 1963, and again in 1965, to come forth with her story and tell the truth and have her voice be heard? It’s so rare that you find a story that hasn’t been told. But this story led to what we know as the Miranda rights and civil liberties for people who get arrested—whether it’s for the innocent or not.: As part of my research, I went to Arizona, I went to Phoenix, I went to the Paramount Theater, which she worked at, and, and got on the bus and went to the bus stop where he abducted her and did the drive to the desert.
